AVAILABLE NOW: New Z-Man Mulletron™ & ZWG™ Swimbait Hook are locked down and loaded for action
“We created the Z-Man® Mulletron™ to provoke feral reactions from predators working key ambush points,” notes Jose Chavez, Z-Man director of product development and a seasoned saltwater angler. “Rig the bait perfectly every time with a weedless ZWG™ Swimbait hook. Swim it right through those nervous water zones patrolled by big fish. What happens next is inevitable,” he grins.
Fresh from the ovens at Z-Man’s South Carolina, USA based bait laboratory, the new Mulletron swimbait has just landed at select outdoor retailers, ready to attack the water and bounce back from endless inshore strikes.
Mulletron™ Swimbait
Formed with a true-to-life ‘finger mullet’ profile, featuring authentic head and body silhouettes and organic gill plate, eye and fin details, 3.3- and 4-inch Mulletron swimbaits are sculpted to replicate the most edible and universal inshore preyfish in nature.
Breathing life and energy into the Mulletron’s swim signals, a rounded, wedge-shaped tail activates at a wide range of speeds, including the often critical and seductive slow roll. Z-Man pro and inshore Captain C.A. Richardson describes the bait’s action as a hypnotic pulse, equally capable of hitting the afterburners when an especially hot fish engages the hunt.
“We crafted the Mulletron with back and belly hook slots, perfectly matching the new ZWG™ Swimbait Hook,” notes Richardson, referring to the new ElaZtech® friendly hook design. “Thanks to the bait’s buoyancy and reduced rate of fall, you’ll have an absolute blast rolling the Mulletron right across super skinny water and watching big reds, snook and tarpon explode all over it.”

- Rounded, wedge-shaped tail empowers realistic swimming/kicking action at all retrieve speeds.
